Gift the ‘Gift of Warmth’

Every year with the help of our friends and community members, William Raveis Vermont Properties has been able to collect more than 100 winter clothing items to donate to Black River Good Neighbors. This will be our fourteenth year, we hope to make this our best yet and know that we can with your help!

The forecast for this winter is expected to be another cold one and if you come to Vermont in the winter… you know what that means!

From now until Dec. 1, we will be collecting gently used, clean outerwear to support our community and friends. We are especially looking for children’s coats and snow pants. Since beginning our yearly efforts, we have collected over 1,750 coats and other outerwear. All donations help keep local families warm, in one way or another. The outerwear will either be given to someone in need or sold at the Black River Good Neighbors store where the proceeds will fund programs that provide heat, utilities or food to local families.

Please drop your gently used, clean coats and outerwear off at our office at William Raveis Vermont Properties at 29 Locust Hill Road, Monday-Saturday from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. It’s time to give the gift of warmth and keep a local family warm this cold winter season. Thank you for joining us to make this happen for the fourteenth year in a row.

Please call 802-228-8877 for more information.
